I'm 49 years old, and I've been programming since I was 10, on a Vic 20. I've been doing web development for 20 years, from Frontpage to PHP to Rails to .NET to Java. Picking up .NET wasn't terrible, but I've been at the Java/Grails/Spring/Angular stuff for MONTHS, and I'm just barely getting off the ground. I guess I'm just old and/or stupid.
- joelbluminator 8y agoI get you can't escape Angular (and friends) if you are doing front end, but why not just stick to 2 things on the backend? php and java, ruby and .net or whatever. I just don't see the point in doing Grails, Rails, Spring, Laravel, Node etc etc instead of mastering 1-3 technologies really well.
- TheRealDunkirk 8y agoI was told, essentially, that Rails is still too new and scary to be considered secure and mature and ready for enterprise use, and that I had to use either .NET or Java. There's another half of this project that's already written in pure client/server Java, so that's what I chose. If I had it to do over again, I would have chosen .NET.
